I AM A MOTHER...AGAIN. Each time of the three, I have given life, there is always something new about it...my daughter Iman Mayari made her way to this world on May 9th...almost on the steps of my building, but we made it with time to push three times and have her in a more sanitary place.

I always pick a song for my kids to sing to them. Amir's was "Redemtion Song" by Bob Marley; oddly enough Rami's was "Hello Tomorrow" by The Yeah Yeah Yeahs...and now Iman's is "Love Song" by the Cure and revived tastefully by Adele.

Although I am with all three so often...I still am alone with Miss Iman every night...and she makes me feel whole again, fun again, young again...among many other things. Thank you Iman.

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again

However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again

However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you

About Me

Mariam Aryai Rivera is my name...and these are the tales of a jewelery designer chasing antiques, children and dreams. Welcome, I wish I could offer you a warm cup of tea with honey, and play us some sweet tunes.
I'm from New York City, I design and handcraft jewelry for those intrigued by the past, its stories, people and secrets. All my work is created in a loving environment across from one of the oldest, historic, Victorian cemeteries in the city, that was founded as a result of overcrowding dead bodies in the downtown burial grounds from typhoid, cholera and smallpox. I'm sure this coincidence has influence on my aesthetic a bit. All my work is crafted from antique and vintage elements and are one of a kind or with few exceptions, extremely limited edition. My environmental policy is clear I hope- reduce, reuse, rejuvenate. xoxox
